The most common use of bar code scanners, and the one that most people are aware of, is the scanning of groceries at a grocery store. At the teller the bar code of each package is run past a barcode scanner that tells the system what the item is. The stock control system then feeds back item details and price information to the teller. The cost is automatically added to your bill. READ MORE

Can A Mouse Pad Offer Zen?
Call me crazy, but anyone who has studied eastern thought, understands there is a "zen" to everything. What affects us we affect and vice versa. Everything as an energy.
If we spend a great deal of time in our vehicle, we are going to shop carefully for a reliable, safe, and hopefully attractive vehicle. We may use it for business or pleasure or whatever, but if we use it a lot, we want it to be reliable. So we pay a fortune to satisfy our "auto zen". A Chevrolet may be perfectly aligned with our zen qualities or maybe a VW or a Mercedes. Each individual is different.
So buying a car is more than just buying a piece of metal with rubber wheels to take us places. It is a safe haven, like a moving home, in which we feel comfortable in it, and hence in our own skin.
What if we spent a great deal of time at our computers? Well of course we buy a nicer computer, and often with a good many bells and whistles to make it work hard and fast for us. We have a lot to do on this computer and often spend a bulk of our day on it.
So we look down at the crumbled up mouse pad in front of our thousand or even five thousand dollar computer. Why? Because we have not paid attention to our "mouse pad zen"! If you didn't think I had a few screws loose before, certainly now you do, but I am not being funny here.
If you purcased a $3 mouse pad, or are still using the one that came with the computer (not much better if any better), you are not listening to what your body and reflexes want. It wants the computer do to the work, not your arms and muscles and whatever else happens "when mouse pads go bad", and they do, often, if they are shabby.
Mouse pads need not be so plain. Why not have one that represents you? They can be quite decorative and humorous, and even a centerpiece of conversation among clients. If you are a doctor, find a medical-oriented one. There are plenty of them out there that are funny and medical-themed. The same is true for doctors, computer persons, veterinarians, psychologists, plumbers and salespersons. There is something out there for everyone.
For only a few shekels more, and well worth the price for several reasons. One is obeying their mouse pad zen, the mouse slides ever so easily over it, it is funny and keeps us in a good mood and positive while working, and we don't have to replace it all constantly.
I have my own collection from my own mouse pad store. I couldn't find a mouse pad that soothed my zen, so I created one online. And I'm glad I did.
